There are 4 notable updates:
- We have lowered the cost!
- Added Last Chance Draft
- Added “The Portal”
- Added New Rules to “The Reaping Period”
Lower Cost : We want to keep the Hunger Games at a reasonable price for everyone to participate and with the gym getting new sponsors this year , we have been able to pass along the benefits and lower the cost for sign ups!
Last Chance Draft : Feb 26-29 This year the Games will include a Last Chance Draft. This period will happen right after the “Reaping Period” closes (Feb 26th) and right before our 1st FNL (March 1) !
- Once the Reaping Period closes… you will still be able to SIGN-UP but you will not be able to choose your district. This will play the same way as Pre Draft Day.
- Those that sign up during Feb 26-29 will be drafted into a District.
- We felt this would help Captains and Districts have a better opportunity to organize and communicate a few days out from our 1st FNL vs so much last minute recruiting.
The Reaping Period: The Reaping Period is the time that Captains and District Members can Recruit Eligible People into their District.
As a reminder , recruiting can only happen to members who are currently not committed to a district.
This year we are adding an additional feature to help Districts stay more evenly distributed:
- Once Reaping Season begins – Each District can recruit up to 15 members before the first “Holding Period” will begin.
- Once a District hits 15 Members – Recruiting for that District will STOP until all other districts have hit a minimum of 10 members.
- Once all Districts hit 10 members , Reaping will go LIVE again and the new cap will be 25.
- Recruiting will again stop for those that reach 25 until all other districts hit a minimum 15.
- Once ALL DISTRICTS hit 15 there is no additional cap.
The Portal : Allow me to introduce “The Portal” muahhahaha.
The Portal will serve a few different purposes:
- The portal will be a holding place for members to go when they sign up during The Reaping Period but have NOT COMMITTED to a DISTRICT.
- We will announce when new members enter the portal.
- This will give Districts who are still LIVE the opportunity to recruit these eligible members to their District.
- The portal will also be a holding place for members during the “Reaping Period” when Districts hit their cap.
- Members can still sign up during a Districts Dead Period , they will be kept inside THE PORTAL until their District goes Live again.
- Members still have the choice to choose their District.
- You can choose any District that is LIVE and able to accept new members.
- IF your District of choice is in a Holding Period … you can opt to wait for the potential they go LIVE again.
- Think of this as being put on a waitlist. The higher up the waitlist you are the more likely you will be able to be put on your district of choice.
- If the District of your choice does not go LIVE before the Reaping Period is over , you will automatically be placed onto one of the remaining eligible Districts of your choice.
